Honestly, nothing. I realize that was a dick reply but I was just saying what was in my head at the moment.

As a more sincere reply, I don't know if there is any magic to Djent on bass... isn't it just low tunings? I know how its done on guitar, but for bass I think its simply low tunings, probably done with a pick for the attack you gain with it. Have you turned to the Tube of You for insight?

1. Djent is a lot more than just low tunings.

2. He's not asking how to 'do' djent on bass. He's asking for song recommendations.

moving along from the nolly bass vid, he posted a live set up video recently, a part of it that stood out to me was the use of a compressor. IIRC, he had the wet signal boosted to a level that would normally be plenty audible and the attack set as slow as possible to give the notes a pop to really make them stand out.
slightly off topic, nolly is the only reason i would ever listen to/watch periphery. love what he does.

I have heard many references to this "Djent" style, but alas; my increasingly gray hair probably prevents me from understanding exactly what it is. If people here do not have suggestions for specific songs; then perhaps another forum might? Or, you could search for a "Djent" forum on Google or some such engine. I am sure that there are great fans of this stuff that can point you in the right direction.

Good luck! You will find what you are looking for.

I'm pretty aware of what the djent difference is on a guitar -- what are we looking at for bass, though?

There would seem to be little point in tuning a bass further down, given that most bass cabinets won't reproduce the lowest fundamentals on some four-string basses, much less a standard-tuned five. Not only that, but with the guitars downtuning perilously close to bass territory, where do you plan for the bass to sit in the mix? Pick or fingers?

Curious as to why you'd think that. When I watch that video, all I see a skilled player nailing an impressive bassline. I'd love to be able to write lines like that.
Not really my kind of genre but I dig the video.
